Your Business Career Outlook: Learning Today, Leading Tomorrow

Whether it's the rise of artificial intelligence or a growing preference for sustainable initiatives, one thing remains clear: our world continues to evolve, and the business landscape must adapt accordingly.

Here are some of the trends influencing the future of business careers, and how the University of Fredericton (UFred) empowers students to stay ahead of the curve.

Artificial intelligence has changed the game (and the office)

AI is reshaping the way we work. To stay relevant and optimized, business leaders need to incorporate and embrace these changes. As part of UFred's MBA, Executive MBA, and Master's Certificate programs, we offer a specialty stream that focuses on Artificial Intelligence Leadership.

These courses teach students the management components and techniques required to implement, scale, and effectively use AI solutions. Students will also learn relevant industry regulations, how to manage people, processes, and the technological aspects of AI. This specialty stream provides the business leaders of tomorrow with the skills needed to navigate this new way of working.

Skills reign supreme in the hiring process

There's a growing trend for organizations to emphasize skills-based hiring. Fortunately, in addition to theoretical knowledge, UFred's business programs teach practical skills that can be implemented immediately.

When speaking about UFred's program, an Executive MBA alum shared the following: "One of the main advantages of this fantastic program is that you will learn new concepts in the evening and then apply them the next day at work. Day by day, I have seen how my perspectives have changed."

Data is everywhere. Do you know how to use it?

Data literacy is invaluable in today's workforce. There will continue to be a need for employees and leaders that are able to collect and harness data, with the goal of transforming insights into action.

As part of UFred's graduate-level business programs, they offer a Business Analytics Leadership specialty stream that teaches students how to acquire, analyze, and leverage data to lead organizations to success.

The people have spoken: they expect sustainability

Consumers increasingly gravitate towards companies and organizations that are transparent about their sustainability practices. Businesses, in turn, have rushed to respond to the demand for corporate accountability.

To help prepare our business leaders, UFred offers a specialty stream on Social Enterprise Leadership, that teaches students to effectively run a business while taking social and values-based missions like sustainability into account. Students will learn how to communicate the effectiveness of a blended bottom line without compromising on their missions.


By offering programs that complement trends in the workforce, the University of Fredericton (UFred) ensures our students are well-equipped for the careers of today, and the future.
